<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 901289, member: 60"]It reminds me of a Morris Katz painting or a borscht belt (Catskills) guest painting. He painted with a palette knife and toilet paper. Back in the 50s and 60s, some of the big resorts had classes for guests so they could complete a painting of their own. Morris Katz taught some of those classes. He was famous for being the fastest comedian painter in the world. He toured the resorts or places like Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami and he would sell his paintings while doing a comedy show. He was also known for his philanthropy and did a lot of fund raising events. Since this isn't signed, I think this would have been a landscape piece by a guest or something they did on their own when they got home. I've sold a few of his paintings and some sell for decent money depending on the subject. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a video that shows him painting. </p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]Fhzz45RRXtY[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
